Great Answer Malco, I hope with this credit crunch you will lose your job in Epsom, the correct answer should be how come Epsom rip off customers with inks

The correct answer should be there are good and bad CIS suppliers as a rule of thumb anything from China is pretty crappy, but check out which ones are reported as good, I use signal inks, but there are far better inks out there, just research on the net.

Also matching the screen to the print out put is mostly the biggest problem, is all about tweaking the settings.

I also have an Epson printer that uses sublimation ink and found the colors to be dull when printing. But when I heat press the printed item onto my sublimatable items the colors turn out great. I'm assuming that you are sublimating onto items like mousepads and puzzles and mugs and stuff? (since I don't know of any other use for a sublimation printer) If yes, then I suggest trying to sublimate an item using the printout that you have and see if the colors turn out better.

In most cases the printer driver software can have errors while being in use or is shut down. So to reset remove your printer from the PC and uninstall the printer software. Now reinstall the printer software and then connect the Printer to be detected as a new hardware as it will be installed. Now check the printer properties to see the ink levels. Activate head cleaning before a test is taken . Sometimes it is possible that the head is not reacting to the need of the PC command or can be an issue with ink drying orpoor ink cartridge contacts.

Given that you are using a dye-sublimation ink I have to ask if you're basing the colours you're getting on the results on your substrate or on the finished product (after you've done the heat transfer).

Beyond that you should probably ask the supplier if they have a colour profile for their inks. If not you can look for one of the services available. I can't make any recommendations but communication with this company has been quite positive

2. TRASH and REINSTALL the drivers3. Try a different application and file4using a PHOTO PRINTER (Stylus PHOTO) try to set the QUALITY OPTION to BEST PHOTO or PHOTO RPM5. Go to PRINTING PREFERENCES and hit ADVANCE6. Choose the right PAPER TYPE, SIZE and SOURCE then disable HIGH SPEED7. Once all those are set choose PHOTO RPM under the COLOR MANAGEMENT box and try printing8. This will print a lot slower but will be using alot of ink and eliminate the lines
